Replacement QB Options For Minchey

So apparently there are “no better options” left? Damn. Wild to think a career backup who played Nebraska like a fiddle is now the guy who will crater the entire program. Really makes you think…

The program is cratered already. I think....per usual...nebraska fans were hoping for a career backup to come in and help us out of the crater. We dug this shit hole and its only gotten deeper over the last decade. No one single player is going to catapult us out of this mess. Hoping that a built up OL/DL is a start. Were a long ways from that too.
 
I wouldn’t say I was, but it is more of my reaction to how some people can still put a positive spin on this. I just don’t get it.
I don’t think that’s a positive spin; I think that’s being a realist. To definitively say that Minchey is better than whoever we land is disingenuous and deep down I think you know that, I think.
 
There’s still some intriguing names in the portal I’d rather kick the tires on than the guys we’ve been connected with

- Air Noland
- Deuce Knight
- Husan Longstreet (not formally in the portal yet but publicly linked to be considering entering)
- Amari Odom
- Ethan Grunkemeyer

Just can’t imagine throwing our hands up and saying “it’s all fucked - time to hope DJ Lagway’s shoulder is healthy”. Someone from that group will be good and we can grab the kid from WCU as a third quarterback and all of a sudden there’s some competition happening

Pretty sure Grunkmeyer is Va Tech.

Which is instructive about where Franklin ranks Pribula.

I've wondered about Deuce Knight as well. I can't imagine he wants to go to Ole Miss now that Chambliss can return.

Odd to hear basically nothing about Air Noland.
 
Re-bolded: he hasn’t signed yet. He’s not even as far along there as Minchey was to NU

Agreed it’s a major indictment on Pribula. Which means he’s probably in his car on the way to Lincoln right now
Apparently there’s speculation that Bryce Baker out of UNC is headed to VaTech. I have zero info on this, but maybe this allows us to kick the tires on Grunkemeyer.

I’m with you Sea, I think there’s still some decent names out there that we should be vetting, other than what’s been mentioned and reported.
 
We all need to come to terms with the fact that Chiles is going to be the guy and cross our collective fingers that we can make some semblance of headway with the rest of the roster.
Or worse, he gives us the finger, goes to Northwestern and Chip Kelly turns him into an all conference qb.
 
Can we “Minchey” another program?

Anyone know if:

Barnett III
Kienholz
Houser

…Have signed?? Or just committed?

There was talk of CJ Bailey, he decided to stay at NCState - can we tamper the hell out of him?

If we’re going to do that, let’s get the kid from ODU.

I guarantee qbs named Air, Deuce, and Amari would kick the asses of qbs named Anthony, Aiden, and DJ.
